摘要
The emulsifier-free core–shell interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) fluorinated polyacrylate latex particles with fluorine rich in shell were prepared by emulsifier-free seeded emulsion polymerization with water as the reaction medium. The fluorinated copolymer could be fixed on the particle surface due to the formation of interpenetrating polymer network. The resultant core–shell particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The core–shell particles possessed very narrow monomodal particle size distributions. XPS analysis of the latex film displayed that perfluoroalkyl groups had the tendency to enrich at surface and there was a gradient concentration of fluorine in the structure of the latex film from the film–air interface to the film–glass interface. In addition, compared with the latex film of crosslinked polyacrylate prepared under the same condition, the emulsifier-free core–shell IPN-fluorinated polyacrylate latex film showed better thermal stability, higher contact angle and lower water uptake.
